After decades of recovery, southern right whales are showing signs of a climate-driven decline in breeding rates, which scientists say is a “warning signal” about changes in the Southern Ocean.

Google’s emissions are up 48% in 5 years. Microsoft’s are up 30% since 2020. Those soaring figures are being driven by mass investments in data centers to power AI tools.

Generative AI is a climate disaster and data center expansion must be stopped.

REMINDER: Global heat waves are FOSSIL FUEL‑driven climate chaos.

Recent research shows that warming linked to the world’s biggest oil and gas companies has made EVERY major 21st‑century heatwave more intense and more frequent.

The right has successfully painted climate action as an elite cause driven by the Davos Class, and the Democrats avoided rather than confronted that narrative.

"Absent policy steering, AI’s modeled effects increase the carbon intensity of the global economy and reinforce fossil fuel incumbency—outcomes that current analytical and governance frameworks do not fully capture."

We need to develop an understanding that climate denial is first and foremost ideological and not driven by the supposed ‘non-ideology’ of rational self-interest/greed

I am a serious professional scientist. I am also a commissioner of climate change and have to discuss practical and pragmatic solutions with people who disagree strongly with climate action. I have a calm and optimism-driven approach to climate action.

40 inches of rain is biblically catastrophic.
Hurricane Melissa which is en route to decimate Haiti and Jamaica rapidly intensified to category 4 storm. Rapid intensification is a hallmark of climate change, but that category is only a measure of its wind speed. It is also expected to bring up to 40 inches of rain

As California burns as a result of a climate crisis driven by the burning of fossil fuels, repeated speakers at President Jimmy Carter’s state funeral discuss his historic leadership and contributions to embracing a shift to renewable energy and tackling fossil fuel dependence.

free mass public transit should be a climate policy supported by anyone who claims to care about the problem

reduce miles driven by those most in need and you reduce emissions while also reducing income inequality

New Commentary out in Nature Climate Action: we now live in a fundamentally different climate system due to the burning of fossil fuels. Because of this, any extreme weather event now occurs in a changed climate and is influenced by fossil fuel-driven climate change to some degree.

All* the significant long-term trends in climate over the last 60 years or so are driven by human activity.

*very minor caveats apply
What's something that experts/practitioners in your field universally agree upon, but that remains a "hot take" among the general public?

Home insurance rates are soaring in the aftermath of wildfires in Maui and Los Angeles.

Two new bills introduced in Hawaiʻi and California would help protect families from rising costs by making Big Oil pay their fair share. 👏

part of what motivates conspiracy theories about climate crisis-driven catastrophes is trying to find someone to blame, totally, but also: conspiracy theories can make facts about who is profiting from climate crisis and who is evading responsibility for climate crisis sound like conspiracy theories
